Just got a chance to pull it and run it past all the audio tests I can think of with my SB32. Here's the results: 1) Thanks for the good work on repeating and close() hanging fix! Did not hear any repeats, and when I allowed audio play apps to finish playing and terminate normally, I never saw them hang on close(). The only time I saw a hang was when I Ctrl-Ced the app in the middle of playback (e.g. mpg123); not all the time--sporatically as before. So as far as this specific problem goes (hanging), this driver is better than the checked-in version. 2) Load pops on start/end of AU playback. Still there. Don't see this with the checked-in driver. 3) Attempts to record 16-bit samples gives "Input/Output Error" now instead of the "Interrupted system call" before. For each failure, I get one of these in my console: Sound: DMA (input) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? 16-bit record works with the checked-in driver. 4) I think Louis or you mentioned this, but I also see probe output that's a little strange. Looks fine except for that dma 7 in there. Could this be related to the DMA error doing 16-bit record?

Hope this helps, and thanks for the hard work! Randall
